Does a fine needle aspiration of thyroid nodule hurt?

I did alot of reading on this so I was confident it would not hurt at all....well the "numbing" needle burned but that was no big deal. The 1st needle pinched...but I dealt with the discomfort...the 2nd needle got contaminated so he had to get a 3rd...5 minutes go by and I did ask if whatever he used to numb the pain wore off and he said no.....well it did..omg I saw stars! You cannot talk or move so I had to be still and NOT cry....WOW....and to top it off..I also read that afterwards it may be "tender" for up to 48 hours....It has been over 10 days and I cannot swallow without it hurting, turn my head without feeling it and it hurts when you touch it. This bulge never hurt prior to the biopsy. It came back undiagnostic so now I have to go again! I think it all has to do with who performs it. This time I asked who is scheduled to do mine and I looked him up! Good Luck.

What is the intervention of hyperthyroidism?

It depends on what is causing it.

For example, if it is caused by cancer then obviously the thyroid needs to be destroyed or removed immediately.

However most cases of hyperthyroidism in developed countries are caused by an autoimmune condition called Graves disease. This can be treated with drugs that block the production of thyroid hormone, radioactive iodine that destroys the thyroid, or surgical removal of the thyroid gland. Unfortunately, none of these options treat the underlying problem, ie the production of autoantibodies against TSH receptors on the thyroid gland. Autoimmunity was only really discovered in the 1960s and as yet we have little idea how to treat immune system disorders.

How iodine is used in both the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid disease?

Tc99m and I131 arent used in thyroid uptake and scan. Specically I123 is used to evaluate thyroid uptake and is also used to perform a scan mostly in addition to a pinhole collimator. Tc99m can be used just for the purpose of size and shape of thyroid but ultrasound is more specific for that and does not introduce a dose of radiation to the patient.

What are the side effects of Levothyroxine if you stop taking it?

With the combination of other psychotropic medications being abruptly stopped, I've experienced significant lightheadedness, nausea, and a feverish feeling. But this has been true for sudden stops to other psychotropic medicationsas well; both with and w/o the combination of others. Also, after the physical side effects have subsided, I have felt a significant decline in my mental health. I'd strongly advise you to continue the usage of Lamictal, however unpleasant it may be. Do not discontinue the usage of your medication without your doctor's instruction. It's very important for you to not abruptly stop taking your medication; it has led to hospitalization for me.
